Documentation and developer's notes on voxels in IDEFIX package.

Voxels data

• Density
• Distribution
  • Mean
  • Variance
  • Mode
  • Entropy
  • Min
  • Max
  • Quantil

Voxels glossary

• Step, resolution, bins...

Algorithm

Mode

Insight and warn when use with high entropic data.

• Slow (usual mode)
• Quick (versus boost)

Ideas

• Unified voxel format
  • Do not store complete matrix
    • Point cloud like to benefit of PC IO for import/export.
    • Matrices always start to 0,0,0 image like, need metadata (start, steps, dtypes, field names...)
  • Allow matrice aumgentation
